Question which couriers do people use for amplifiers?

[dej23]

I'm struggling to find a courier that will insure my amplifier when sent?

I also struggle to find them. It seems they all have max values. Strange as Superfi delivered my AVR850 via DPD but if I go to DPD they don’t insure it more than £200.

Did you have any luck? I can’t see it as an exemption with Parcelforce.

I ended up using parcel force, booked it directly through parcel force website. It wasn't cheap, I think £50 or so including insurance up to £800.i also recently read ups (booked direct) sometimes are reasonable

DHL Parcel UK states on their FAQ page:

As standard all parcels delivered in the UK get £25 free contents cover and international parcels get up to £50 contents cover for free. If the value of your contents is more than what comes as standard, then we offer extended cover of up to £1000 for both domestic and international deliveries. This option can be selected when placing your booking.

I used parcel hero, i scoured the excluded items of all the retail shipping brokers and Parcelhero seemed the best for 'amplifiers', their labels are the old style UPS ones but that's who I went with in the end.
